more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke
this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing
#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable
my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P
necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same
Ever live I see is a lady reviewing sex toys
It probably would be possible to make an app to translate it, since all the images are sent unencrpted over http, just need to grab all the links using wireshark or something and then open them all in Google lens… until they rate limit you I guess.
In the time since I made this post, Xiaohongshu has already added a native translate button for text posts and comments.
Images are less of a big deal since:
a) Memes and jokes originally written in Mandarin often don’t make sense when translated anyway (i.e., puns, cultural references).
b) English-speaking users have generally agreed to hold each other accountable so that when they post English content, they include both English and Mandarin subtitles out of respect for the fact that they are “intruding.”
c) When worst comes to worst, iOS lets you translate text from screenshots natively (it takes a few taps but works), and Android lets you do it instantly with screen-reading translation apps.
how else are they supposed to do it?
So any guesses on whether the OP is paid in RMB or some other currency?
I was paid $30,000 USD for this post by Mark Zuckerberg himself. He told me he wants every foreign app to be permabanned from the US internet so we all have to move to Threads :3
Well whoever said CCP will censor LGBT content doesn’t know much about the CCP.
On the other hand try posting anything critical about the Chinese government…
Chinese writer sentenced to 10 years in prison for homoerotic book
A Chinese novelist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for writing and distributing homoerotic novels, provoking widespread debate online over the severity of her sentence.
The female writer, surnamed Liu, but more commonly known by her internet pseudonym Tianyi, was arrested in 2017 following the success of her novel “Occupy,” according to reports in Chinese state media.
The book was described by police in East China’s Anhui Province as depicting “obscene sexual behavior between males” set to themes of “violence, abuse and humiliation.”
He wrote porn, full stop. Creating pornographic content is an offensive, regardless of content or audience. But good work posting a sensationalized version of events that happens to align with us state dept propaganda.
You don’t need to read it… It’s only offensive to people who don’t enjoy it.
Simple thinking, really sad.
Creating pornographic content is an offensive, regardless of content or audience
What the actual fuck?! Where… do people with such a surreal worldview even come from?!
*she
If you find pornography offensive, that’s a you problem. Well, unless you’re a government. Then you make it other people’s problem. Honestly, this reminds me of shitty US politicians. You’re not denying it happened though.
The CCP doesn’t censor anything, except when it does, but it’s the author’s fault then.
Every government, “western” or “eastern” that moves to limit access to pornography or other sexual expressions moves in a militaristic direction.
memes.ml banned me for saying both US and China engage in propaganda. One of the users, which I assume to be one of the moderators, responded as false equivalence because I could not reply the minute after the response. Either that, or because I directly mentioned .ml users in general is tone deaf about China doing its own propaganda.
